 * What are you trying to do?
 * Don’t just post code, tell us what you are trying to accomplish, what you are
   actually seeing (tell us the actual syntax error), and tell us where you are 
   inserting this code.

 * The syntax error is in line 79 where the form is. I am trying to write a plugin
   that call pull data from Amazon and then allow the user to save it as a post 
   with his affiliate ID attached. I am not sure if SOAP is best for this. I don’t
   know how to pass variables to the Amazon API.
    Ideally I wanted the Amazon settings
   dev tag and tag on the setting page and the SEARCH parameters keywords , category
   or the application page.
